Combination skin: These are the characteristics
Combination skin: Men are affected too
Of course, men can also have combination and blemished skin. Men's skin is often oilier because it has more sebaceous glands and larger pores. That’s why all lavera products we recommend on this page are also ideal as balancing men’s care for combination skin types.
A strongly mattifying cream is not suitable for the entire face when it comes to combination skin. In fact, they can even be disadvantageous for the dry areas, as they don’t provide enough moisture. Water-in-oil emulsions that absorb quickly and don’t leave a greasy film on your skin are ideal.
Wondering which natural ingredients work best for combination skin? With ingredients like Acnilys®, bamboo powder, organic calendula, organic mint, and natural salicylic acid, you’re caring for your skin optimally. They’re perfectly tailored to the needs of combination skin. Hydroxy acids, which gently exfoliate the skin to improve its appearance, can also be helpful for combination skin. Polyhydroxy acids – or PHA for short – are considered particularly well-tolerated and are even suitable for sensitive skin. .
At a glance: What your combination skin needs
- Care goals: regulate sebum production, balance oil and moisture levels
- Thorough but not overly aggressive cleansing
- Use an exfoliator once a week
- Use a clarifying mask once a week
